Recycled lids for reusing your tins
An empty tin is a sturdy, free and durable container. It only needs one thing to become a proper storage tin: a lid.
Our plastic lids have barely been used. Rather than ending up in the bin, they’re put back into service to seal your tins and protect their contents from dust, humidity and insects.
A thousand clever ways to organise
- Workshop and DIY: screws, nails, wall plugs, nuts, screwdriver bits.
- Sewing and crafts: buttons, beads, spools, pins, ribbons, sequins.
- Office and school: pencils, paper clips, erasers, chalk, paintbrushes.
- Garden: seed packets, labels, twine, small tools.
- Home: rubber bands, batteries, tea lights, small toys, jigsaw pieces.
- Homemade money box: cut a slot in the lid to create a money box that you can decorate.

Colours and transparency
As these are recycled lids, colours may vary depending on stock availability. Unless you specify a preference, they will be allocated at random. Each batch contains 5 lids of the same diameter.
For the 99 mm and 127 mm diameters, you can specify your preference (transparent, opaque, coloured) in the ‘Customisation’ field. Remember to click ‘Save’ before adding to your basket. We’ll do our best to honour your preference, subject to stock availability.
Tip: a transparent lid lets you see the contents without opening the tin – very handy for a well-organised workshop!
